Published to accompany its 1997 exhibition of the same name, this exhibition was a major survey of the ideas and ideals of Australian artists working during the 1960s, a decade of strong generational change, experimentation and cultural upheaval. The exhibition ran at NGV International from 23 April to 16 June 1997.

The catalogue explores a dynamic period in Australian art, when artists were moving beyond traditional figurative painting and landscape subjects into abstraction, hard-edge painting, pop-inflected imagery, experimental sculpture and more provocative contemporary forms. The NGV notes that the art of the period ranged from large-scale non-objective and abstract works to more cheeky, alternative and socially engaged images.
